Mobil 1 Extended Performance vs. AMSOIL Synthetic Oil

Ok, the numbers are in. Mobil 1 STILL doesn't hold a candle to AMSOIL (even with their new EP product). In testing done August of 2005 in opposition to 10 brand name petroleum and synthetic oils, AMSOIL came out the clear champion, even over the new and "amaaaaazing" Mobil 1 EP synthetic motor oil. You can see the report for yourself in a moment, but here are some highlights:

• Mobil 1 EP Evaporates 38% Faster Than AMSOIL
• Mobil 1 EP Allows 18% More Cold Start Friction
• Mobil 1 EP Allows 22% MORE Wear

In addition, on the TFOUT test, the "Thin Film Oxygen Uptake Test" (ASTM D-4742), which provides a very good correlation to the drain interval capability of an oil, AMSOIL passed the 500 minute cut-off mark with ease, while Mobil 1 EP came up short at only 469 minutes. Now, 469 minutes is significantly better than most of the competing oils, so you've got to give Mobil some credit. But, the AMSOIL product could comfortably have continued longer. But, since the test specifications limit the test run time to 500 minutes, we were cut short of discovering just exactly how far the AMSOIL synthetic oil could really go.

Either way, it is of little consequence. AMSOIL offers much better protection against wear, better cold temperature starting, less high temperature evaporation and longer guaranteed drain intervals. Moreover, at Preferred Customer pricing, you'll pay roughly the same price for AMSOIL (including shipping) than you'll pay for Mobil 1 Extended Performance in town at the auto parts chain store.

So, let's see ... about the same cost, enhanced protection against wear, easier cold starts, less evaporation, longer drain intervals. Boy, that's a tough one ... I'll have to think about that for a little while. I think I'll take the Mobil 1 ----------------- not!!!

Listen, I've got nothing against Mobil 1. It's an excellent oil - especially the new Extended Performance Product. But, if you're going to pay that kind of money for a product (Mobil 1 is typically more expensive than most other "in town at the auto parts chain store" brands), why not get the best your money can buy? You'll never go wrong choosing AMSOIL, and we've got the test results to prove it.

Why AMSOIL & Not Pennzoil, Valvoline, Mobil 1...?

First off, although you can find many fairly good quality oils these days, there are those companies whose integrity should be looked upon as tainted at best. Specifically, when companies such as Valvoline and Quaker State (Quaker State is the manufacturer of Slick 50 Engine Treatment) utilize such deceptive advertising in regards to their oil additive products, how much weight can you put on advertisements for their motor oils?

Of course, using a brand that is well known and that you can get down at Jimmy's Auto Parts brings with it a certain amount of familiarity and trust. These oils are ones that people have been buying for years. Our daddies and grand-daddies have used them for years. Why switch? If it aint broke don't fix it, right?

Well, I guess it all depends upon your viewpoint. For years people washed their dresses and pants in the river on a wash board. Then, someone invents the washing machine. Why switch? That wash board has been doing the job pretty well for years. Your parents used it, your grandparents used it. It's been in the family for decades and has served you well. Is it really worth switching?

I say it is, and I also say that the comparison between AMSOIL and other oils is just like the comparison between that washing machine and a wash board. The wash board will do an ok job of washing clothes, but it can in no way compare with the clothes washing ability of the modern washing machine.

AMSOIL offers the absolute BEST protection for your vehicles and equipment.
